Norfolk, VA (September 12, 2025) – A traffic accident at a busy Norfolk intersection left an infant injured on Wednesday evening, prompting immediate medical response from local emergency personnel. The crash occurred at the intersection of Azalea Garden Road and East Little Creek Road, in the northeastern part of the city.
Initial reports indicate that the collision involved a vehicle being struck on the side where a baby was seated. The impact caused an airbag to potentially deploy directly into the child’s face. Medics were already on the scene when the situation was first reported around 8:33 p.m., and they provided prompt assistance to those involved, including the infant.
Authorities have not yet confirmed the severity of the injuries, but early dispatch audio captured concerned communication about the possibility of trauma to the child. Norfolk City Police and medical personnel are continuing to assess the situation and monitor the victim’s condition. The child’s current status has not been publicly released.
The intersection, located in the 23518 ZIP code, is a well-traveled corridor that connects several neighborhoods and commercial areas. Traffic was temporarily affected as officials worked to secure the scene and begin an investigation into the circumstances of the crash.
Our thoughts are especially with the young child and their family during this time, and we hope for a swift and full recovery.
